Fish, I am surprised by your response. I thought you of all people know to fade the public. The more I hear about the public being on WF and how they will win SU makes me feel even better about my play on St. Joe's.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
philly-
YOU KNOW ME ALL TO WELL!!
The opening line was +3.5 and I missed that as it is now down to +2.5.........thus, will not be making a play on the game.
However, that does not detour me from still having a small lean on WF.

I agree what Alan Boston had to say about this game
St. Joseph’s is Boston’s choice to win the tournament. He takes umbrage at Packer’s comment that St. Joe’s didn’t deserve a No. 1 seed.
“Billy Packer is a retard,” Boston said. “Billy Packer is part of that good ‘ole boy network, which has rigged this whole tournament for the teams out of the Big 12 and ACC.
“It looks like St. Joe’s has a tough draw, but in reality it’s not. Wake Forest cannot play a lick, is very poorly coached and doesn’t defend at all. St. Joe’s will take them apart. Then they would get Pitt or Oklahoma State, whose whole game is to shut teams down. Their offense is created by their defense more often than not.
“But with St. Joe’s you’re not going to shut down Jameer (Nelson) and Delonte West no matter what you do.”

St Jo's plus point vs anyone is a good bet.
Strong back court leadership and a coaching staff that is excellent in pre game prep and ingame changes.
Pk is the right number vs OSU but we know the books will be bracing for the anti St Jos money, therefore it will be inflated,
so what is the right line, one that will divide that action, or one that is an accurate measure of the differences of the teams?
Only team that should be favored vs them is Duke.
Anyone else=one way lines.

I'm on Wake straight up and to take the bracket. Texas Tech gave St. Joes fits WITHOUT an offense. Wake will bang them inside, and unless St.Joes gets hot from the perimeter they could be in trouble. Wake is no patsy, and they can flat out score. Not to mention their advantage on the boards and at the foul line.
I would like Wake's inside game if they were not so prone to foul trouble. With St Joe's guard play, that is penetration, they will draw fouls. I look for them to play great but I can't pull the trigger on them because of a weak schedule, but as a fan I am for St Joe's. In the modern college game if a team lights it up from 3, which both teams can do, it is over for the other.
FWIW the local news was just in the arena and the loony Philly fans have been there priming themselves since 3:30 or around 4hrs prior to tip.
If they opened the Vet(OK lincoln whatever) four hrs to KO for an eagles game, they would need an underground morgue, not court room.
Ultimately, would be surpised if it wasn't a fairly biased St Jos crowd.
